UNITE STATES PATENT OFFICE.

OSCAR KITGHELL, OF VALPARAISO, INDIANA.

EGG-BEATER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 308,901, dated December9, 1884.

Application filed April 17, 1884.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, OSCAR KITCHELL, a citizenof the United States, residing at Valparaiso, in the county of Porterand State of I11- diana, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Egg-Beaters, of which the following is a specification,reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention has relation to improvements in that class of devicesknown as egg-beaters; and it consists in the construction and novelarrangement of the same, all as will be here inafter more fullyeXplained,a-nd particularly pointed out in the claim appended.

The annexed drawing, to which referenceis made, fully illustratesmyinvention, in which the figure represents a perspective sectional viewof a vessel, showing my improved beater applied thereto. 7

Referring by letter to the accompanying drawing, Adesignates a vessel ofany suitable construction, which is provided with alid, B, that iscentrally perforated, throughwhich projects the upper end of a verticalrod, 0, having secured thereto a pinion, D, which meshes with agear-wheel, 1*],journaled in a. bearing-plate, F, secured to the top ofthe cover. This vertical rod 0 is provided at its lower end with acone-shaped bearing, G, in which is the bearing-pin or lug H, that issecured to the bottom and on the inside of the vessel aforesaid. i

I indicates the beater, consisting of the four blades J, which curvefrom their upper end, K, downwardly and inwardly, as at L, and at thelower end thereof the same is bent upwardly and inwardly, as shown at M,and se (No model.)

cured to the red C. These blades, as at Nand O, are constructed of asingle piece of metal, as well as the pair P and R, and about the centerof each pair of blades are secured oblique blades or braces S, whichassist in beating or mixing the contents of the vessel, and at the sametime serve as braces for the blades J.

It will be observed from the above description, and by reference to thedrawing, that the operation of my device is very simple. The operatorturns the crank on the gear-wheel, thus, through the medium of the same,imparting motion to the beater through the pinion, when said beaterrevolves rapidly, turning on the pivot-bearing in the bottom of thevessel, and thereby thoroughly mixing the contents of the vessel.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, 1s

The herein-described egg-beater, consisting of the blades J, constructedin pairs, curving outwardly and downwardly,and then upwardly. andconnected to the rod 0, and provided -with the oblique braces S, the rod(1, having the cone-shaped bearing G, pivot-bearing H, pinion D,gear-wheel E, having the crank-handle, vessel A, coverB, and platesecured there to, the whole arranged as shown, described,

and for the purpose specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

OSCAR KITOHELL.
